Kabukichô Love Hotel

This bittersweet ensemble drama follows 24 hours in one of Tokyo's love hotels, in which the dreams and desires of the hotel's inhabitants (a Korean escort, a porn-star college student, a musician and a policewoman) intersect and collide to hilarious, steamy and heartbreaking effect.

A rewarding, sexy and poignant film that looks at the lives of ordinary people in the throes of life-changing events, it's well worth checking in to see a very different side of Japanese life.
